Elder Huss's letter of August 28, 2012

Dear Home, ...I got a haircut today, and boy was it a haircut. The lady asked me how I wanted it cut, so I told her 3/4" length would be perfect. Well, I have 3/4" hair on the top of my head, but my sides are shaved down to practically nothing. I'll be glad when I start cutting my own hair (he took clippers so he could do his own hair and his companion's...!). I forgot to mention that everyone here is getting sick, and I got it pretty bad this past week. It finally got so bad that I had to see the doctor, and by 5:30 on Thursday I got so bad that I just basically had to go to bed and didn't get up until the next day. I'm doing better now though! Still a little sick, but hope I"ll be recovered by Monday. (He mentions forgetting to take some Sudafed and requests that I send him more Emergen-C as several guys have been taking it along with him...that's one of my "mommy" things, is encouraging my kids to load up on Emergen-C if they feel "sick" coming on...I can't quite get them to take ENOUGH! :-) ..Laundry here is a nightmare. That's where I am at right now. Is it still raining alot? Are the dogs and kitties doing ok? How is the greenhouse going? How's the ward? Do you guys have any plans for Phil's and Daddy's birthdays? Tell them I say Happy Birthday... Well, I'm gonna go now. Let me know what you would like to know about in future letters. ~Elder Huss P.S. - We just got back from the temple. It feels like I"m home when I'm there (I love that - there is no place on earth closer to home - our real home - than the temple! :-) and I'm going to miss not having a temple to go to for the next 2 years. ...Please tell Brother St. Laurent congratulations for me and that I SO wish I could be at his baptism - be there for me! (we were!)
